Most self-help gurus focus their efforts on getting people to let go. Even Disney got into the Let It Go game. And it is, in general, good advice. It’s very zen. But like most advice, it does not fit every situation and Terry Pratchett, that wonderful wizard of seeing the world differently also had some good advice, “There are times in life when people must know when not to let go. Balloons are designed to teach small children this.” I thought of that when I shot this picture of the Pixicat sphinxes in the Vespertine balloon. Well, one is desperately not letting go and let’s hope he never does.

JUMO just released a fun high-fashion corset and pants that I could not resist. It comes in gold, ruby, purple and teal as well and all are on marketplace. The complete set also includes shoes and jewelry, even a pearl monocle. You can wear it with long pants or with shorts, but the shorts are a system layer and there are no appliers for mesh bodies.

The Vespertine balloon is beautiful, but it does not come that size. It’s much smaller and I used up a lot of land impact making it larger than it was meant to be, but just for one picture, it was harmless. Frankly, it was the flowers that really went nuts, I kept drag copying those DIY flowers all over the place. In the end, 415 LI of flowers You know how you can just get in a rhythm and not pay attention and keep repeating what you are doing. Yeah, that happened.


I enjoy finding a way to wear outfits differently than how they came in the box. This time, I added this spray of black feathers from a lovely minidress I got from Faster Pussycat. I have pulled this out a few times because it is designed so well that it works with many outfits. I changed my jewelry to this Deco set from Donna Flora because it lines up perfectly with the edges of the Faster Pussycat shrug and nothing is ruined by not being able to wear the glitch layer on my Slink Physique mesh body.

Here you can see the lovely multi-strap shoes that came with the Hip Glam outfit. They are a great complement to the open weave of the panniers on the corset. You can also see the Misters Bigglesworth from Birdy who have been keeping a dubious eye on the cats’ balloon adventures.

There are two sphinx cats to carry in the Pixicat Gacha and there are even harnesses for them. They can all be color-changed which is great for folks like me who do not like like the pink ones. I look at these sphinx and wonder if my Oscar is all wrinkly under his lovely fur. He’s sitting beside the laptop as I write this post, his front paws on the edge of it and I can see clearly that the very thought is appalling to him.

I wanted a modern, glam hair and went for the KoKolores Silence. It came with a hairbase, but I thought the hair was thinner than I liked so I wore this base from MADesigns. Same shave, thinker, denser hair. This skin is a new release from PXL Creations for Festival of Sins. I thought this outfit has a bit of sinfulness and decided to go with it.

As you can see, that cat is still hanging in there. Don’t let go!!!
